Keynote Topic: Role of Employee Green Behaviour in Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Employee green behavior plays a significant role in the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). SDGs are a set of 17 global goals adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. To harness the potential of employee green behavior in achieving the SDGs, organizations can: Promote sustainability education and awareness among employees. Implement green workplace policies and practices. Offer incentives for green behavior, such as rewards for reducing waste or energy consumption. Set sustainability targets and measure progress toward them. Collaborate with other organizations and stakeholders to scale up sustainability efforts. By incorporating green behavior into their corporate culture and operations, organizations can make a significant contribution to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals while also benefiting from cost savings, improved employee morale, and enhanced reputation.
